ELEMENTAL AWARENESS SUMMER BLAST OFF IN WATTS, CA |
|
| Elemental Awareness put on a game of S.K.A.T.E. for the skaters in Watts today. All the local rippers came out and competed for scholarships to Element YMCA Skate Camp, Element boards and more. The event was started off with everyone getting warmed up in classic LA fashion skating a bump to table. New to the crew of skaters was Carl Romero who killed it all afternoon. Alex Ramirez put down a nice kickflip and this roast beef was another nice one that went down. The competition was heavy from the start and ultimately widdled down to a three way battle between Carl, Andrew Caro and PJ Harris. PJ has been a heavy in the Watts scene since we started putting on events about 5 years ago, and re-claimed his title today rarely missing a trick out of his technical bag on the box and flat. Thanks to everyone that came out and kicked off the summer in a great way! |
